Not much has been said about the assassination of James A. Garfield.
What do you think happened that day?
Who put him up to it?
Did Charles Guiteau act on his own?
Or was he being setup as a scapegoat while somebody else did the shooting?

Charles Guiteau was a delusional individual, looking at it now, he may have been suffering of some mental disease. handshake

"John Humphrey Noyes who had considered Guiteau irresponsible and insane."
"Guiteau's trial was one of the first high-profile cases in the United States where the insanity defense was considered."

Or maybe was it a French conspiracy considering his French Canadian name?laugh cheers

Nahhh, a good conspiracy theory never dies! Besides, what's the difference between 24 Presidents later, and 8?

Since you are looking for the sponsor of Charles Guiteau, if there was one, you could look at his choice of firearm.
He never had any experience with firearms, yet he chose a 44 British Bull Dog revolver. This caliber as a high recoil and is a very destructive caliber. Since it has a short barrel, he would have to know that he had to be close. It wouldn't have been efficient for his purpose at too great of a distance.
This is a photo of the actual firearm used by Guiteau:
